The Qingshan Village Youth Work Center is located in the northernmost part of the village. It consists of two rows of six houses, for a total of 12 bungalows. A hallway runs down the middle, with three rooms on each side. It's the only house in the village with white walls and black tiles. Each room has a flat ceiling and bright doors and windows, making it a truly luxurious residence.
The male educated youth lived in the first row and the female educated youth lived in the second row. Chu Jingqiu walked through the middle aisle based on her memory and walked to the room on the middle right side of the second row, close to the aisle. This was her room.
She took out the key to her room from under a brick on the windowsill and opened the door. The first thing that caught her eye was a large kang (a bed-like bed) in a small room, only about ten square meters, and this kang alone took up almost half of the room.
At one end of the kang is a row of kang cabinets, on which are neatly folded bedding.
The floor was paved with red bricks, and there were two large boxes on the ground. A rectangular table was placed against the wall, with a chair and a washbasin rack. A small mirror was hung on the wall, with a portrait of the great man printed on it.
The room was simple, but tidy. Chu Jingqiu pulled the pink curtains, picked up the thermos on the table, and poured herself some water.
She took out a small box from the kang cabinet based on her memory. It contained some commonly used medicines. She first wiped the soles of her feet with disinfectant, and then applied some Yunnan Baiyao.
After finishing all this, she felt that she was really tired. She hadn't slept all night and her eyes were so sleepy that she couldn't even open them. She didn't care about anything else and decided to take a nap before making any plans.

At the same time, Xiao Yihan and Qi Yue were driving on their way back to the police station.
Xiao Yihan is 24 years old this year and is the youngest regimental commander in the Capital Military Region. Due to his intelligence, he skipped grades several times from elementary school to high school and was known as a "genius boy". He graduated from military academy at the age of 14 and has made numerous contributions.
Recently, China intercepted a piece of intelligence that Ma Zhanshan, a former military agent, had sneaked into the Northern Province to awaken the undercover personnel.
The purpose of Xiao Yihan and Qi Yue's trip is to cooperate with relevant departments to capture Ma Zhanshan and hidden enemy spies.
Qi Yue put away his cynical expression and said seriously, "Brother, it's impossible for Ma Zhanshan to come to Bei Province at this time. Why did he appear in Daqing Mountain?"
"This person isn't Ma Zhanshan at all. Judging from Chu Jingqiu's description and the portrait she provided, this person is not only thin but also effeminate." Xiao Yihan raised an eyebrow and looked at Qi Yue. "Plus the white cloth I found at the human traffickers' den, I suspect it was used to wrap her chest. Why would she do that?"
"She's a woman?" Qi Yue said in surprise. "Why does this woman have the same big mole on her face as Ma Zhanshan, and why does she want to dress as a man?"
"That's what I've been thinking about. She must have some connection with Ma Zhanshan. That's why we're staying in Hongqi Town today. We need to first figure out who this woman is. This might be a breakthrough in our pursuit of Ma Zhanshan."
After Xiao Yihan finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to remember something and instructed Qi Yue, "Take some time these days to look up information about Chu Jingqiu. This girl's portrait painting skills are even higher than our experts. She also understands lip reading, is meticulous, and is very observant. If there are no problems, she is a rare talent."
The two drove to the police station, but none of the comrades who had gone out on a mission had returned yet. Xiao Yihan decided to go to the town health center to meet Jin Shuixiang first.
When he arrived at the town hospital, Xiao Yihan saw Xiao Liu, a comrade from the police station, guarding the door of the ward.
"Is Jin Shuixiang awake?" Xiao Yihan asked.
"She woke up when the road was bumpy, but she was weak. Later, she received a blood transfusion and she regained consciousness."
Xiao Yihan walked into the ward and saw Jin Shuixiang receiving an IV drip. Her triangular eyes drooped on her pale face and she lay weakly on the bed.
"Jin Shuixiang, do you know why we arrested you?"
"Government, I don't know anything. Some bad guys robbed me and knocked me unconscious. Thank you for saving me in time!"
"You said you were knocked unconscious by bad guys. Then tell me why two girls were kidnapped in your cellar. The victims even pointed out that you kidnapped them under the pretext of asking for directions. Also, where did the gold, silver and treasures in your cellar come from? You refuse to tell the truth." Xiao Yi's face was cold, and his tone was as cold as ice. "Confession will be treated leniently, resistance will be treated severely, and you still refuse to tell the truth!"
Jin Shuixiang rolled her triangular eyes and said, "Government, I was just possessed by a devil for a moment. My nephews are poor and can't even get married, so I just want to find wives for them. I am guilty, I am guilty!
My gold, silver and treasures were left to me by my dead husband. They were the belongings he accumulated when he was a bandit. They were all buried. After I was released from prison, I dug them out and built a cellar to store them.
I suffered a lot in the first half of my life. I was sold to a brothel by my parents and my body was damaged. I have no children, so I also want to leave something for myself.
But who knew that in recent years no one dared to buy gold, silver, jade or anything like that, so I decided to donate it all to the government to atone for my sins.”
"Do you know Ma Zhanshan?" Xiao Yihan's sudden question scared Jin Shuixiang so much that her pupils shrank slightly. She quickly turned her head away to hide her panic.
Xiao Yihan took out the portraits and showed them to her one by one. Jin Shuixiang lowered her head, thought for a moment, and suddenly raised her head as if she had made some decision.
He trembled as he spoke, "Government, I'll confess. I'll tell you everything. I was forced to do this. I wasn't the mastermind. I was just a handyman. You must show me leniency!"
It turned out that before liberation, Jin Shuixiang was sold to a brothel by her gambling father. Later, she was spotted by the second in command of Yuejiazhai and was redeemed. She lived a life of food and clothing in Yuejiazhai. After the outbreak of the War of Liberation, people from the Military Control Commission and the army often came to recruit them, but they were all rejected by the bandits. They were also afraid of death and did not want to go to the battlefield.
